I started hunting at age 5 with my dad for squirrel and my 410 single shot sitting under a hickory tree in Tennessee. Then at age 10 moved to Wyoming where I learned the true meaning of outdoors from back country pack trips and hunting camps, I became a young guide at age 16 for back country pack trips with 10 to 15 people for 10 day trips into wilderness at a time for Alan Brothers Diamond 4 Ranch. I hunted Mule Deer, Elk, Antelope, Sage Grouse, Blue Grouse, and Ruff Grouse, even Ice fished all winter. I have been to Ontario Canada to hunt Black Bear and fish for walleye, Northern Pike, Small Mouth Bass. I now archery hunt on a family farm in Illinois (Jersey County) and watching my trail camera all summer and early fall have become an obsession. My passion is teaching my son and daughter all I can about the outdoors and learn to respect the wildlife that depends on it. The best feeling in the world is to watch a child catch their first fish or shoot their first game animal!
